Tannishtha Chaterjee is spoilt for choice.

The actress, who will be seen next in Bhopal - A Prayer For Rain and Road, Movie, is also appearing in Lucy Liu's short film, Meena. And recently, prominent fashion designers Alberta Ferritto and Ted Becker told her they were interested in dressing up the dusky beauty for her red carpet walk at the Berlin Film Festival for Road, Movie.

But she made an unusual request to both the designers. She wanted them to dress her up "completely from head to toe". We asked Tannishtha to elaborate.

"This is the third time I was walking the red carpet at Berlin. Earlier, two of my films - Shadows of Time and Let The Wind Blow - were showcased there. The first time when I went to Berlin with Shadows of Time, I chose to wear a sari and my god, I almost died because of the freezing temperature. I was shivering throughout the ceremony.

The second time, I decided to wear a shawl but that didn't help either." "So, this time, I was clear that I wanted to wear clothes that would save me from freezing. So, I requested the designers to keep me covered," she added.

Well, seems like this is one actress who sure knows how to dress intelligently, not only looking glamorous on the red carpet but also protecting herself from the biting cold.

Tannishtha shot to international fame with the British production, Brick Lane.

With the kind of international recognition she is getting, she is a cinch to go the Freida Pinto way.
